What impressed you positively?

"How relaxed and easygoing everyone was. It wasn't just that the students were friendly, but more importantly, that they looked comfortable and relaxed.

The interviews matched this attitude, and were very conversational and low-key but professional. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"If you can imagine practicing millitary medicine, this school is great. It boasts of a much stronger curriculum than other medical schools (with 800 more hours of specialized instruction), a great family-like atmosphere, a strong student support system and expert faculty. I was impressed with everyone who spoke to us, and really think that the little bit of freedom lost by joining the military is gained by all of the perks." Report Response
